Villa Sinfonia Foundation
Audrey began her classical violin training at the age of four when she joined the Grammy-nominated Villa Sinfonia Foundation, studying under renowned instructors Roy and Lynn Oakley. Over the course of her musical development, she had the opportunity to perform in prestigious venues around the world and tour internationally with the orchestra, appearing in multiple countries and on some of the most celebrated stages globally—including Carnegie Hall.

Classical Voice Training
Audrey’s classical vocal training began through ArtSmart, an audition-based music education program led by internationally acclaimed opera singer Michael Fabiano. She continued developing her vocal performance skills at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, in San Francisco where she studied jazz vocals through the school’s performing arts program.
From 2020–2022, Audrey was selected to participate in Bay Area Vocal Academy, an exclusive audition-based vocal training program designed for advanced young singers, where she studied with acclaimed singer Rhoslyn Jones. She is currently continuing her education at the University of San Diego, where she performs with the university’s Concert Choir, including recent performances in collaboration with the Grossmont Symphony Orchestra.
Through these experiences, Audrey has developed a versatile vocal foundation spanning classical ensemble performance and jazz training, further strengthening her artistry, stage presence, and collaborative musicianship.
Personal Projects
Driven by a lifelong passion for singing and songwriting, Audrey began teaching herself music recording and production in high school as a way to independently create and refine her own work. What started as a personal creative pursuit quickly evolved into a broader technical skill set, leading her to record and produce original music, collaborate on projects for other artists, and explore a wide range of independent creative productions.
Her growing expertise in music technology led to the opportunity to teach a high school course in music production and recording using Logic Pro, where she instructed students in the fundamentals of digital audio workstations, recording workflows, and production techniques. Audrey has continued developing this passion at the University of San Diego through coursework in digital audio composition while actively pursuing personal recording and production projects outside the classroom.
Through this work, she has cultivated a strong foundation in technical audio production, creative direction, and digital storytelling through sound.
